Alternating sides while feeding - is milk supply at risk?

Question

I’ve decided to feed baby from one breast at a time during feedings. Alternating which breast I use every other feed. It definitely feels more satisfying, and my baby seems more comfortable with it. Will this decrease my milk supply or put it at risk though?

Answer

No it’s fine. And your breasts won’t necessarily look uneven. My babies have only ever wanted one side at a time. As long as you consistently switch sides for each feeding, your supply shouldn’t change.

Answer

This is what I did with all three of my children. The bra I wore didn’t make the size difference obvious. I nursed up to 8 months without supply issues and stopped because I got pregnant.

Answer

It shouldn’t unless baby isn’t emptying you on that single side. 
You will also have very uneven breasts (purely from a cosmetic standpoint).
